Ron,

Very good points. Back seat diving is so easy. Real life can be a real challenge, especially in a mud/silt engulfed cave, entangled, in a line trap and your buddy not in direct contact.

Of course you have been taught to deal with it. If you don't, (deal with it), it just gets more interesting.

yeah,wow ron what an emotional expierience that must have been. and what a cenerio for matt to set up how real it must have felt! I mean when you get to the level you are at i am sure the learning curve stops climbing as much!having felt almost physically sick when you realized that dave was not there must have drove home that training,how many divers have perished.

Thanks for the good read Dave. I did some cavern dives in Dos Ojos on my Cozumel trips back in my OC days. The caves are the most beautiful I've ever seen and if I ever get around to a full cave course, that's where I'll do it. -Andy
